When Stanley’s group gave him the nickname “Caveman” he felt like they actually cared about him. Stanley had found what he thought was his first “miracle”, A rock with a fish in it. When he showed Mr. Pendanski he told him it was a fossil. Mr. Pendanski said the warden wouldn’t care about any fossil. Stanley realized two things, one was that there would be an order of how the kids would line up there holes, X Ray first, then Armpit, Squid, Zigzag, Magnet, and Zero. After he told Mr. Pendanski he had found the rock. X Ray came over and told Stanley “if you find anything, you bring it to me”. That was when he noticed that X Ray was obviously the leader. Stanley thought that his group was friends with him because he knew that they would scare Derrick Dunne senseless. He finds a Golden toob, one end open the other closed; it has KB imprinted in side of a heart on it. He gives it to X Ray and tells X Ray to show the warden the next day because his hole was almost done and he would be able to take the whole ay off the next day.
